Description & Specifications

Women observing men, women observing women, children observing men and women playing an uneven game.

Twenty stories about good students, always bent over a wrong equation.

This book is for you if...

  • Are you looking for modern, raw, and daring literature that shakes you up?
  • Do you want to read about the body, religion, desire, and guilt, without filters?
  • Are you not afraid of texts that bare themselves – and your own self?

What will this book offer you?

A manifesto of the female experience written with anguish, irony, and truth. Small, poetic fragments that capture the thoughts of a woman who smokes within the suffocating role imposed upon her. The Virgin Mary of the title is both a symbol and a cry: the mother, the daughter, the lover, the atheist, the saint, all of them together and yet none of them.

Inside the book you will find:

  • Literary monologic poems or prose – confessions of women about motherhood, the body, faith, and everyday life
  • The explosive coexistence of religious iconography and feminist discourse
  • Humor, anger, tenderness, sarcasm – all sharp, written "with a knife"
  • Texts that challenge you to reread them aloud

Why this book is different:

It is not just a collection. It is a call for you to say everything you are hiding in your own bathroom. To give voice to exhaustion, to anger, to the beauty that found no place elsewhere. It is the Virgin Mary who comes down from the icon stand and tells you: "I know. I feel the same."
